Over the last month I have made some changes to the inside of my 80.
First I dyna-matted the inside of the 80 which meant removing all the carpeting and seats, all door panels, and rear quarter panels. I took this opportunity to remove the second row heater assembly that takes up a large amount of space under the passenger seat and capped off the heater lines running to it. Also took the opportunity to clean up the carpet section before re-installing it.

While the panels were off I replaced the older model Pioneer speakers with the new “A” series speakers and upgraded my rear door speaker size from 5.25 to 6.5 so now I’m running four 6.5’s in the doors and the 4” in the dash. The rear doors required some slight metal trimming to clear the larger diameter speaker housing.
Installed white LED bulbs in my dash – really updated the look of the instruments. Very bright at the top setting like in the picture, I run them at a lower setting ~
I had a Supercharger cut out switch that lets the SC spin but cuts out the boost and the meth injection pump. An option on very hot days for long slow 4wheeling climbs that should help with engine temps. In another month, I will have a chance to test it out.
Lastly, I was gifted a steering wheel and some high quality custom leather from friend MTKrietz to update my worn leather sheel and shifter. I had a local retired leather craftsman remove the old leather and baseball stitch both my steering wheel and my shifter knob. before and after

Looking good there Murf. I see the gloves for handling the Dynamat.
Finished installing hardtop and rear ambi doors so showed her in our annual car show in Stoneridge at Prescott Valley on Saturday. And yes the first person that saw her did say "nice Jeep"; it got better after that!
Very nice. You've been busy. I'm interested in your cut out switch for the supercharger, is it controlling the bypass valve?

Yes, good one John!! You would think people would notice such thingsDid you ask if they knew how to read? There is a TOYOTA emblem on all four sides.
. Any chance you are camping out with the group for the Casner Mtn run in June? It would be cool to have a couple 40's there. I am planning on bringing red and Darlene will bring her new 4Runner. Putting in new tie rod ends today or tomorrow-who knows how long the existing ones have been on her; piece of mind for me!

Still not sure about camping on the June run. If I come and drive my 70 FJ40 it will be camping only. Only vehicle I have registered that doesn't have A/C. If I do Schnebly Hill it would be in the FJ62. Been close to twenty years since I drove down Schnebly Hill. My oldest had just got her license. Back then heat didn't bother me as much. I was driving my 68 and she was driving the FJ62.
@Living in the Past Yes John I am just taking the 40 for camping as well-no AC in my '78 either, ha ha! Should finish my tie rod ends today or tomorrow. Then have her aligned. Either way look forward to meeting you. Tom
@Cactuscrzr thanks! Been working on it since August of 2013, long road and she is not perfect but have kept her pretty original. Going to camp out for the Casner trail outing?
I'm going to try and make it
while the cats away...those dang mice.Checking to see how the new suspension handles. I'm amazed how well the 200 does with 2 tires off the ground and no lockers. I went up that that too with minimal fuss. 80 doesn't spin a tire, but the 200 with 33s can go there too.
